Art Night 2017
Art Night 2017 was a collaboration with Whitechapel Gallery, curated by Fatoş Üstek. For one night only, internationally acclaimed artists have transformed unusual spaces across east London, from historic and iconic sites to secret locations and public areas.
The highlights include Jake and Dinos Chapman animating a vacant warehouse at London Dock, Ian Whittlesea leading guided meditation sessions in the Bascule Chamber of Tower Bridge, Melanie Manchot inviting the public to join a mass dance performance in Exchange Square, a new installation by Lindsay Seers in a hidden Masonic Temple next to Liverpool Street, and a one-off performance by Benedict Drew with a group of leading experimental musicians at Whitechapel Gallery.
Art Night is the UK’s largest free arts festival generously supported by international auction house Phillips.
